Scoop Jackson

ESPN's Page 2 debuted a new columnist and his name is Scoop Jackson. He reminds me a lot of Ralph Wiley, at least Wiley's style on Page 2. Yea you could say that I'm just seeing another black writer talking about basketball, but there's a different feeling to the writing:
It got quiet all of a sudden. Poppa Joe Harris had nothing to say. The SI with
the colla-poppin' Prince on the cover got looked at hard, almost as if Poppa's
stone was rollin', almost as if he was blaming SI for the loss. Then he thought
different. Instead, the magazine found the trash.


So far, after reading his column and his manifesto, I have to say I like him (but it's early in the game).
